Summary

Description
English: Sunday Birkenhead - Paddington express approaching Weston Rhyn station.
View northward, towards Wrexham, Chester and Birkenhead; ex-GWR Birmingham - Shrewsbury - Chester main line. The 14.55 from Birkenhead Woodside will eventually reach Paddington at 21.25: 'Modified Hall' 4-6-0 No. 6971 'Athelhampton Hall' (built 10/47, withdrawn 10/64) was working it between Chester and (probably) Wolverhampton. The train has just crossed the Chirk Viaduct over the River Ceiriog, which marks the 'international' boundary between Wales (Denbighshire) and England (Shropshire) and is passing Trehowell Halt - just hidden behind the camera; the Halt was opened 27/7/35 and very soon (29/10/51) be closed. Weston Rhyn station was 'Preesgweene' until 1935. In the distance is Ruabon Mountain.
